Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, an identified mass notification system, and evidence of recent preparedness exercises. A recent winter storm State of Emergency declaration has exposed critical gaps, creating immediate compliance risk under NIMS standards and MSP/EMHSD review requirements.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and BRIC grant programs provide direct funding pathways for interoperable communications and alert systems, with one-time recovery funds also signaled. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the county-level emergency management structure for a coordinated regional approach.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web portals have identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating ongoing legal exposure and barriers to resident access. With a federal compliance deadline of 2028, unaddressed deficiencies elevate both litigation risk and equity concerns for the communities served.
The opportunity
The 2028 WCAG 2.1 mandate provides a defined remediation window, and staging fixes by risk severity aligns well with available budget cycles. Acting now reduces legal liability, improves equitable service delivery, and positions the entity to leverage eligible funding before demand peaks.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Official government communications conducted through consumer-grade email accounts signal a critical gap in enterprise identity and credential management, leaving sensitive data and public trust exposed. Without proper access controls, the entity faces elevated cybersecurity risk and potential unauthorized access to government systems and records.
The opportunity
Recent IT investment activity indicates readiness to address targeted security gaps, and this project aligns well with upcoming fiscal planning cycles. Strengthening credential management now reduces operational and reputational risk while supporting responsible stewardship of public data and systems.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks documented dashcam or telematics deployment, leaving driver behavior monitoring and incident response capabilities unaddressed. This gap presents moderate but growing operational and liability risk for fleet operations and public safety outcomes.
The opportunity
County-level budget reallocations and active grant application activity signal an upcoming window to fund fleet safety improvements. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan government entities can reduce procurement complexity and accelerate deployment within the current fiscal cycle.
